The Motherhood Café - Blended Families : A Conversation about Single Parenting, Step-Parenting and the Diversity of Family Structures

This topic is back by popular demand! Join us for education and healthy conversation as we discuss what makes a family. We’ll hear powerful stories of single parenting, step-parenting and adoption. Come to listen, ask questions, connect and sort through the trials and tribulations that come along with blending families. In order to build community, we must better understand one another and the unique ways families work.

Our programs are FREE and OPEN to the public. See details below for information regarding our FREE childcare, up to age four.

As always, we will also be broadcasting via Facebook Live!

Our Cafe mornings close with peer-led small groups on Pregnancy/Birth, Infancy (0-6 months, 6-12 months) and Parenting. During small group time, we are often able to offer Care Group for those walking through infertility, miscarriage and child loss.

Children under one, can stay right with you. For children between the ages of one and four, we offer FREE on-site childcare.
